Mark,

I need another wing because mine (Mares) is only rated up to twin 10s. I have an alu 3 ltr as well and I'm a bit low in the water after my dives. I have a 5 ltr steel (bought at LIDS) which I have never used because of weight considerations. Apart from the fact that I am on my 3rd plastic backplate there is nothing wrong with what I've got.

Seriously, I do like my Mares wing but I need more lift as also want to upgrade to twin 12s. I have no worries about the plastic pinch clips. A DIY wing is cheaper to put together than buying an "off the shelf" version.

Perhaps I'll wait a bit longer and see if I am the lucky winner of the Dive YBOD comp.

Bryan.
